Sharmila once spoke about her husband, Mansoor’s biopic in an interview and said that the twists and turns in his life included his father’s death, losing his eye after which his average came down from 60 to 30. To receive such a blow at such a young age, according to the actress none apart from him could have been able to make those adjustments and that kind of an impact with one eye. Sharmila further said that Mansoor not only batted but also fielded after the eye accident and even called him a “wonderful sportsperson.”

Given captaincy at the age of 21, he has been described as one of "India's greatest cricket captains". Pataudi was also called the "best fielder in the world" during his time by commentator John Arlott and former England captain and contemporary, Ted Dexter. Meanwhile, Sharmila Tagore made her on-screen debut with the movie Apur Sansar and then went on to star in films such as Waqt, Devar, Kashmir Ki Kali, Nayak, An Evening in Paris, and more. Tagore is the recipient of two National Film Awards, a Filmfare Award, and the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award for her contributions to Hindi cinema. In 2013, the Government of India honored her with Padma Bhushan, India's third-highest civilian honor for her contributions to the Indian culture through performing arts.
